The Way for Us | Vincenzo

Chapter 12 - Leaving Too Soon

***

"You should just go home," Chayoung looked down at her hands. She was feeling too self-conscious after their heated kiss just moments ago. 

"I don't want to. Not with you looking this beautiful tonight," Vincenzo said as she lifted her chin up to look at him . He was staring at her intently as if he was carving her face in his brain. Chayoung's heart was about to explode because of his words and the sight of him with his slightly messy hair and smudged lips, all because of her doing.

"YAH! Don't say stuff like that," Chayoung scolded him, making Vincenzo surprised at her sudden change of expressions. Barely two minutes ago she had just begged him not to stop the kiss, but Vincenzo knew better than to give in to their desires right then and there.

"Wah, you're really something else," Vincenzo said, clearly amused at the woman in front of him.

"Whatever. I need to go back to the party," she said while her hand reached for Vincenzo's face, then her fingers slightly brushed his lips to erase her lipstick stains. 

Vincenzo almost went crazy at the gesture. She's toying with me, Vincenzo thought and grabbed her wrist. "Stop it, I can't barely stop myself," he said in a low tone, making Chayoung quickly turned red in embarrassment. 

Suddenly Vincenzo's phone buzzed, making him taking his phone with his other hand. Vincenzo not once broke his gaze at Chayoung as he picked up his call.

"I'll be there," he answered and ended the call.

"You should go," Chayoung said, she didn't want to make things more awkward between them. She softly let go of his hand on her wrist and took off his suit that she was wearing. 

Vincenzo didn't know what to do. This was his first time doing this kind of thing. Although Vincenzo was popular among the girls back in Italy, he never once did any kind of relationship. He didn't even do dinner and dates. 

"Good night, Mr. Cassano," Chayoung smiled a little as she gave him the expensive suit back to it's owner. Chayoung turned around and let out a breath silently before she walked back to the hall where the party was. 

Chayoung was still nervous from the kiss and she didn't know what she had gotten herself into. She didn't know if there was going to be any relationship or they would just accidentally meet up and kissed each other every now and then. Heck, they didn't even exchange phone numbers yet. It was confusing for her.

Vincenzo, on the other hand, jus stood there, dumbfounded. 

"Way to go, Vin," he mumbled to himself as he watched Chayoung entered the hotel building.

"Hong Chayoung! Where have you been?!" Suddenly Chayoung felt someone grabbed her arm. It was none other than Seo Miri.

"Eoh, I was just... I just went to the restroom and need some air, yeah that's it," Chayoung awkwardly laughed at her own answer. Miri just brushed her off and pushed her friend to the dance floor while handing her a glass of sparkling champagne. 

"Dr. Park has been looking for you," Miri smirked. 

"Ah, yes," Chayoung said and she looked around until she found Park Jihong who stood by the stand of assorted hors d'oeuvres. "I do owe him a dance," Chayoung gulped down the entire Champagne and gave it back to Miri. "Chayoung-a, join us!" Woojin shouted, making Miri glared at him.
